Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake a whole chicken in the oven, deliciously and simply, with a crust? Prepare your ingredients. To prepare chicken baked with bay leaf we will need: chicken weighing 1.4-1.7 kg, bay leaves, garlic, ground black pepper and salt.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the chicken and dry it.

Step 3

Step 3
Season the bird with salt and ground pepper, inside and out.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel the garlic. Place all the garlic and 2-3 bay leaves inside the carcass.

Step 5

Step 5
Using a sharp, thin knife, separate the skin from the meat on the breast and evenly distribute the remaining bay leaves underneath.

Step 6

Step 6
Brush the chicken with olive oil and place in a baking dish or skewer. Personally, when baking, the chicken released a lot of liquid and fat, so it’s good that I decided to bake it in a deep pan, and not on a spit, as I had originally planned.

Step 7

Step 7
Bake the chicken for about 1 hour at 180°C until golden brown. Ready chicken can be served with any side dish, for example, boiled potatoes or rice. Bon appetit!
